I am also left to wonder what the point is of roasts that weigh less than a pound and a half before cooking. Isn't the whole point making enough to feed several people?
For me, the whole point is to eat roast, for lo, it is tasty.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I dunno... usually I cook single-serving cuts of beef in a skillet or on a grill, and only use the oven for roasts. I guess you could cook prime rib the same way, though.

I was just sent this by e-mail and thought to share: They Didn't Study.
I love the "elephant in the way".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm with bt: It's the roast I'm after. Nice roasty taste. Mmm.

I read that NYT article and thought, "I'd bet money that was billytea's therapist." And I was right! I win at, um, something!

That's really quite impressive. What gave it away?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random, trivial question that probably nobody knows the answer to:
If you drop a bottle of soda, how long should you wait before opening it (so it won't foam all over the place)?
Maybe we could guess, and then see who's right....

I saw this linked to with disdain on LJ. well, liked to a page that reproduced it, but everyone on that page seemed suitably horrified. The originating site, however, has a great deal of commentary (3000+ comments).
It's weird, because I don't think of blogs as communities, since they're so driven by the entries, but it's clear that at least for this one entry there is one--not sure (and don't have enough time to find out) if it's the same community that spans more entries of the same blog.
All that having been said, I have a hard time believing the blog entry is serious.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tommy, give it at least three minutes. When you open it, do it very slowly--just break the seal first to see if it's going to fizz all over.
